DNA replication in eukaryotes The rate of origin activation and the density of replication forks are correlated.

How the initiation rate is regulated? Model: Is the rate of origine activation regulated by : • intra-S checkpoint ? • chromatin remodeling factors ? • cell-cycle proteins ? GDR ADN, 2-4 mai 2012

The intrastrand parity rules Under no-strand-bias conditions, i.e. in the absence of selective or mutational differences between the two complementary strands of DNA, the composition of a single DNA strand at equilibrium should be such that : C = G and A = T. (Lobry, 1995 ; Sueoka, 1995) Leading and lagging strands may have different substitution rates, which can result in different GC and TA skews (defined as (G-C)/(G+C) and (T-A)/(T+A)). Replication-related compositional biases had been demonstrated in eubacteria and in some parts of the human genome, but the generality of their existence in eukaryotic genomes remained unclear.

Replication-related compositional skews in yeast Ori1 Ori2 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ fork convergence point 5’ 3’ leading segment lagging segment GC or TA skew (G-C)/(G+C) (T-A)/(T+A) Ori1 Ori2 Replication origins are marked by skew jumps, as their location is fixed. Termination sites may also be associated with skew jumps, but not necessarily as the position of the fork convergence point may vary, depending on the relative firing times of the adjacent origins. Due to the stochasticity of origin firing in eukaryotes, a given sequence is sometimes replicated as a leading strand and sometimes as a lagging strand, in contrast to what is observed in prokaryotic genomes.

Replication-related compositional skews in yeast Consequently, replication-related compositional biases in yeast were demonstrated by pooling together the sequences of all intergenic intervals.
